Lessons include camera operation, composition, lighting, subject matter, and other principles. If time allows, we may also experiment with pinhole photography by making our own cameras out of recycled materials. Bring your own manual 35mm camera to class or borrow one of ours.

Accessibility notes: In youth art classes, many artmaking processes involve (age-appropriate) fine motor skills, physical strength, vision, and ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible.
